Angels first baseman Albert Pujols hasn’t appeared in a game since tweaking his right calf while running the bases Wednesday night in Boston. And his idle status won’t change for at least another couple days.

According to MLB.com’s Anthony Odoardi, manager Mike Scioscia said Saturday that Pujols “will not be starting for the rest of the Angels’ three-game set against the Tigers,” which concludes this afternoon.

The Angels have a scheduled day off Monday before beginning a series on Tuesday night against the Red Sox. Pujols may be ready for the opener of that three-game set, but even that is no guarantee. “The thing about what he’s dealing with,” Scoisca told reporters, “is it’s not like your shoulder’s stiff or your neck is tight and you want to get a blow.”

Pujols, 32, is batting .283/.344/.533 with 28 homers, 34 doubles and 86 RBI in 121 games this season.
